Do Less — With Higher Standards
On December 21st, the Sun enters Capricorn, the sign of the determined mountain goat. This moment marks the seasonal Solstice: the darkest day of the year or the most luminous, depending on your location. (For more on the December Solstice, check out this blog post.)
Capricorn season is a special one, because it straddles the end of one year and the beginning of the next. This time is reflective, as we identify the situations we want to leave in 2022, and dream on the bounty we wish to call in. Yet unlike flash fads and the social pressure to “win” the new year, the Sun in Capricorn encourages you to hone in on doing less — with higher standards. Capricorn is all about excellence. It understands that establishing a high bar for yourself means getting methodical first. In fact, Capricorn teaches the power of delayed gratification — because long-term happiness can sometimes mean postponing pleasure in the present moment.
Built To Last
The New Moon in Capricorn on December 23rd doubles down on the mountain goat’s willingness to build plans that are meant to last. This lunation has staying power. What you begin now has the potential to endure for months to come — so invest your time and energy wisely. It’s time to commit for the long haul and treat dedication as a lived, daily practice.
Yet, Capricorn’s gift for determination is also its growth edge. It can be easy to burn out, or focus only on future-facing projections. The Cancer Full Moon on January 6th reminds us how absolutely necessary it is to care for ourselves along the way to reaching great heights. To tend to our systems, and listen to our emotions, when they pinch. Our feelings are often wiser than we are. They know when something’s not right before our brains have time to crunch the data. Leave space for that processing this Capricorn season. Track what your body needs, and what your heart demands, as carefully as you pursue your goals. Material success is worth nothing if your heart and your mind are playing on different teams.
